Once again, after another extavaganza of a finale and a last-second coronation, we turned to each other and said, “Now, how in the hell are we supposed to recap THAT?” We’ll just say it: we hate the show’s turn toward even grander artifice in the last few...
RPDR Season 5 Reunion Red CarpetDarlings, Sausage Friday continues as we all witness the seasonal plumage display of the American drag queen. The ladies were out in their finest for the Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 5 Finale, Reunion & Coronation taping. Enjoy the DRAGSTRAVAGANZA, darlings! As far as we’re... RuPaul’s Drag Race: SHUT UP ROXXXY, Part 2.Understand that we state this merely as an observation and not a complaint, but the penultimate RPDR season episode is always a little dull to us. Drag Race is extremely upfront about how artificial it is – like a drag itself in a lot of ways. So at this stage in the game,... RuPaul’s Drag Race: SHUT UP, ROXXXYIt’s funny. We didn’t realize until last night that somehow we got it in our heads that no one from this group could be eliminated. Believe us, there’s at least one person in this foursome we would love to see get eliminated, but somehow we just assumed that Ru would allow... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Day of the DeadWe suppose the opening minutes provided a clue as to how this episode was going to go. We didn’t love the sharing circle idea, just because it’s one of those goofy challenges that doesn’t really have anything to do with drag, as far as we can tell. Oh, sure;... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Drag The WorldWe’re running late, so let’s get to it, bitches. We think all reality competitions could be improved by the occasional use of night vision goggles. We also think it’s so brilliant to make the queens put on their makeup in the dark that we’re a bit... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Snatch a FishFrankly, we don’t even know why they bother with a mini-challenge during the Snatch Game episode. Everyone just wants to get to the main event. Gratuitous. We don’t know if it was because we were exhausted from roughly 18 hours of Oscar coverage in a 24-hour... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dance FeverWe feel a little bad starting off this recap with what sounds like a complaint, but the challenges this episode were just okay. At least, that’s what we thought at first. The theme was dance, and for the most part, it was basically a way of just stepping back and letting the... RuPaul’s Drag Race: And I Am Telling YouIt took us a while to get to it, what with Fashion Week and all, but we can see why so many of you were screaming at us to get to this recap. This episode was hilarious. We don’t know how the hell this show manages to come up with fun, original challenges every week. ... Pairs Division: Renner and ArtertonHansel and Gretel apparently can’t keep their hands off each other. Ew. Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner attend the German premiere of ‘Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters’ in Berlin. Gemma Arterton is wearing a Miu Miu dress. Miu Miu Spring 2013 Collection/Model: Martha... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Curtain Up, Claws OutYAY! It’s back! And y’know? It was honestly such a good opening episode that it caught us off guard just a little, proving (to us, at least) that RPDR has not yet surrendered to the been-there-done-that-ism of Project Runway. There’s still some life in the old girl.... Ashley Madekwe in Monique LhuillierBecause we’re afraid some of you are still crying and in shock over that first post of the day, and because it takes a lot longer than you think to procure, format, and upload pictures of each of the 71 loud, tacky, attention-seeking queens on last night’s RuPaul’s Drag Race... TLOungeWho needs a drink right now? We do, darlings! And so do you, even if it’s just a mineral water or Diet Coke. You deserve a night of fabulosity, don’t you? Duck & Waffle Bar, Heron Tower, London Fabulous! But bring a cushion, because we don’t plan on leaving until... PR: Avant Garde, Our Perky Gay AssesDarlings, it was the so-called “avant-garde” challenge! Where the designers are all let out of their cages and taken to a designer park, where they are free to run wild, chase frisbees, pee in bushes, and sniff other designers’ butts! But NO HUMPING. BAD DESIGNER! BAD!... RuPaul’s Drag Race All StarsOh shit, you guys. Logo revealed the breathlessly-awaited lineup for Rupaul’s Drag Race All-Stars, starting in October, and … well, just see for yourselves. Latrice Royal, Pandora Boxx, and Jujubee ALL AT THE SAME TIME? WHO THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ROOT FOR? Who... RuPaul’s Drag Race ReunionWhat a sad, silly way to end a decent season of the show. Don’t get us wrong; we like the idea of LOGO putting on a staged dragstravaganza, but we’d rather see them attempt it as a variety show or series of specials rather than as a hastily put-together afterthought for a... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Psych!Ugh. Y’know, we were fully prepared to start this recap off with the word “Ugh,” and then follow it with another 700 words on how disgusted we are by the win, but instead we’re ughing over something completely different. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Bitches on ParadeWe’re going to do things a little differently this time and run parallel commentaries both on the show generally and on the challenges in this episode specifically. Let’s see if we can pull it off and all come together at the end. Well. It’s always fun until someone... RuPaul’s Drag Race: NO MO HOs!We stand with our more glamorous sisters during their Norma Rae moment: Damn straight skippy, queens. Ew. Ew. We just can’t with this one. We figured it wouldn’t be Willam but we shouldn’t have been surprised it was Kenya. Michelle Visage has always had an inexplicable... RuPaul’s Drag Race: It’s Debatable!A drunken platform shoe decorating contest! Oh, why can’t there by gay summer camps with activities like this? This is, after all, why God invented queens; so that they could go and teach underprivileged children the value of sequins. The results were about what you’d expect,... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Catwalks ‘n CoversHit it, Ladyboys! None of the covers really stood out more than the others. They pretty much all looked cheap and awkward, but Sharon dressing up as Little Edie for a cat magazine cover was kind of genius and the captions were pretty funny. But the judges don’t want to give her... |
